LEGO 5986 Amazon Ancient Ruins *VINTAGE REVIEW!* - Adventurers Retrospective, Ep. 17 

It was the best lego channel to me.

Hope he comes back one day to do the Orient Expedition theme

@@EpicoNubletto why did he leave tho?

@@honeytoasty5496 no idea, I only found the channel this year

@@EpicoNubletto he left because he was burned out by how much work went into this channel, which is a very understandable reason. After all its a Hobby, so fun should always be a priority. But I miss his Videos, I even feel Nostalgia for the Videos themselves by now 😅

Check our R.R. Slugger’s channel. They’re picking up where TrikBrix left off

@@Space-Holiday omg thank you so much!

Na 120 for all that would bankrupt lego....again.. lol

This base plate in particular jumped the shark, at some point why buy Lego, just get a model

Not to mention having everything printed instead of having to deal with stickers.

Yeah, as a kid I never cared about piece count. I cared about the size and uniqueness of the finished build. I always thought the specialty base plates added to the fun.

Yea that car is hard too

Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying it! 😎👍

Glad you liked it! Those old crocs are pretty cool... Thanks for watching! 😎👍

Glad you enjoyed it! The Amazon theme is definitely worth tracking down and adding to your collection, after you acquire all the desert sets, of course. 😎👍

Start the new airship!

Thanks, Steven! Lots more on the way! 😎👍

Thanks, Jakob! Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah - I don’t know what I’d do without BL!! I’d be lost! Lol... Thanks again for watching, my friend! 😎👍

TrikBrix lost and alone! It would be dark - so dark! 🤣

Lol... it’d be terrible for sure!

Thanks, Glenn! I agree that we should’ve seen more Jungle sets released. Maybe they were just too busy rolling out Star Wars at the time. And if you like space themes... stick around. 😄👍 Thanks again for watching!

Glad you liked it! 😎👍

Glad you liked it! And thanks so much for watching! 😎👍

well I would immediately pick it up if I find a good deal on eBay

So cool, but sooo expensive!

I disagree

Yeah, I wasn’t either... but still cool! Just too expensive! Thanks for watching! 😊👍

They could hold them correctly I have about 4 of the element

Definitely not a good price to piece ratio, especially with today’s resale value. And I agree with you on the baseplate; it really adds a lot to the look of the set. Thanks, and thanks for watching! 😎👍

Agreed. It needed about 50% more pieces to really contend with Pharaoh’s Forbidden Ruins. But, I guess that makes it a good candidate for customization! Thanks for watching! 😎👍

@@TrikBrix Pretty cool set still tho. Esspecially for us long time Fans

For sure!

@@TrikBrix I still hope that Adventurers will return in all its glory one day.

So do I... as much as I love Star Wars, and some of the other licensed themes, I really wish they’d return to some of these old in-house properties.

Definitely overpriced - then and now, in my opinion - but you’re right, it is a true classic. Thanks so much for watching! 😎👍

Lol... A LOT. 😄👍

😄 Poor Palomar...

Sure does! I know Lego would never do something like I did for this set, but I think they could’ve added just a bit more foliage to the original set, making it more jungle-like. Thanks for watching! 😎👍

Thanks! I really felt like vintage Lego sets were largely underserved in the ‘high quality’ review community, so that’s kinda why I decided to focus my efforts in that direction (besides the fact that they’re AWESOME sets). Jang and the like are great for new set reviews, but they rarely look at the sets I’m really interested in. I’m glad that there’s still an audience for vintage Lego! 😎👍

Jang was good years ago but nowdays he makes only movie themed (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman etc.) lego reviews and a lot of Ninjago and MOC videos. No classic love from him sadly.

@@zoltanperei4789 It's not even that his content is bad, he fails to make videos on time when people can watch other creators who review the newest sets earlier. He uses the same format and linear editing for almost each review, so difficulty does not come into his time management. To be honest I actually preferred 'The Brick Show' (Former Channel) as they covered older sets that are much more desirable. He reviews these 7+ building sets with the same tone as a food critic. If you go back and watch Jang's oldest videos he has a completely different tone as he knew his audience would be children. The way he covers these new sets with such an adult like manner is completely pointless. If he would of covered classic sets or discontinued ones, I would understand. But instead he's building his "Lego Mall' which can you imagine putting years of your life into something as trivial as building blocks. I mean his Lego city doesn't even look that apealing anyway for something he's basing his career on.

@@user-ti2rg2mq6z I do agree to you. I'm just want good videos and that I get from Jang. But not covering ANY Classic Lego nowadays is Disrespectful to his older subs and older Lego fans.

I got a RU-vid channel called real enderstar711 so check it out. MYbe i will pin ur comment

Thanks so much! Glad you’ve enjoyed them! And I’ll be getting around to the Castle theme at some point, I just don’t own any castle sets at the moment. Hopefully that will change sooner rather than later! Thanks again for watching! 😎👍

I’m excited too - I never had any Dino Island sets, so it’ll be a whole new experience for me as I get them. Thanks for watching! 😎👍

Hey Trik, coming back to this comment a year later, I was looking at some LEGO studios sets, and i noticed that set #1354, has the blue undershirt that you mentioned in one of the Egypt reviews, so Ms. Storm did have that torso piece, just not in an official adventurers set. Just decided to let you know about it, in case no one else did. Hope to see you back and better than ever soon!

Thanks! And thank YOU for watching! And there’s always room for more jungle... 😄👍

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them! I still have my fingers crossed that someday Lego will give us another Adventurers wave... I’d really love to see what they could do with modern elements and building techniques. And I’d say you’re probably right with the city Jungle sets are probably the closest things we’ve got to the spirt of the Adventurers, although I would’ve liked to have seen a more grand jungle temple. And yes, hopefully Dino Island reviews will be coming sooner rather than later! So stay tuned and thanks for watching! 😎👍
